Defending freedom is a fight that has no end. At the NRA Leadership Forum on Friday, April 25, Wisconsin Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. shared his viewpoint on gun control.

I'm sure many of you have seen this anecdote. It was recently sent to my by a friend (again) and I thought I would share it here. Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this: The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing. The fifth would pay $1. The sixth would pay $3. The seventh would pay $7. The eighth would pay $12. The ninth would pay $18. The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59. So, that's what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy ...Read more

Last month, two criminals tried to rob an internet café. Luckily for the patrons – and unluckily for the criminals – a citizen was armed and properly trained to use his weapon. He fired at the criminals, and they quickly left the store before any innocent people were hurt. He is being hailed as a hero for his quick action. Our second amendment rights state that as American citizens, we have the right to bear arms. When used properly, this can be a lifesaving decision.

On the other end of the spectrum, about 9,500 homicides are committed using firearms each year. This means ...Read more

The slogan “Come and Take It” was first used in the American Revolution but really gained popularity during the Texas Revolution in 1835. It eventually turned into an iconic flag in Texas. In the early 1990s, the flag was updated to reflect current times and is now displayed prominently around the country. Before the Texas Revolution of 1835 the Mexican Army spent a great deal of time and energy attempting to disarm the people of Texas, causing quite the stir with the local population. In 1831 the Mexican government granted the people of San Antonio a small bronze cannon which was later moved to Gonzales Texas. The cannon was displayed prominently and was a source of pride among the people. Once the conflict between the ...Read more

As we approach the 10th anniversary of 9/11, it is important to take the time to remember the 2,977 victims whose lives were tragically lost as a result of these horrible attacks. The firefighters and police officers who fearlessly went into the burning towers to save the victims, were true American heroes and must never be forgotten. The passengers on United flight 93 displayed such strength and patriotism and their heroic efforts likely saved countless lives. We must remember the tireless effort to clean up and rebuild the attack sites. Lastly, we must think about and pray for the families of the victims who are still grieving the losses of husbands, wives, children, parents, and friends. We will never forget. Total number killed in attacks ...Read more
